Native SUMO Files#

To ease the usage of the supplied files, all of which are within a XML-derivate, we use a naming convention for the file extensions to allow a distinction between the contents at first sight. The list of used extensions is shown below. We of course highly encourage you to use this pattern.

All SUMO applications can read and write gzipped XML files as well. For input files this is detected automatically (independent of the filename), if you want to have a gzipped output file just add the .gz suffix to the output filename (e.g. myNet.net.xml.gz).

• Configuration files (always the first four letters of the corresponding executable with "cfg" appended)
